Parade of steel and chrome of a poem by Peter Menkin The parade of the city and people of the county and chrome exhaust pipes painted cars with a joy in the old Grant Street – Parade mile long. A witness to the history of America, 55 Chevy Station Wagon red lights again as the nose of a jet. Sculpted Shelby Cobra, a car sought after Hollywood in the midst of thunder patrolled by local police in late model vehicles to search the site, with air intakes. The girls sit close to the guy on the bench, despite a Ford Mustang (worth 20,000 dollars) buckets – thigh on thigh, his own against the gearbox. A ram piston melodious sound, exhaust after sunset dark clouds of the crowd are standing, sitting, yelling and gawk in the industry and promises to bring freedom and order. Sex, steel, paint is a combination on a warm evening in June, the enthusiasm of the county. Connecting calls to drag and thump, the positions of adolescents, adults and families with time, consistent with its status in a cup brown Plymouth 48. And now, a dance company as a community festival in the thunder and success. Glory, excitement! Summer Star Summer Song Parade colors of cars made for show and bravado. A dance on wheels cultural evening and morning, also on motorways and ordinary roads. It is an endless parade for pets and polished, including the Chevrolet 409, you walk in search of a Woody wagon, or something elegant. We have met the 21st century and is still with us, once again, in a parade. audio playback of the poem, it is here, read by the writer, the poet Peter Menkin Budding: http://www. file. 2000 org/details/ChromeAndSteelParade2000ByPeterMenkinThis poem recently published in the Academy of American Poets writers workshop received few comments, I am sorry to say. But I love the work, and here it is from the original version almost eight years, when the procession was held in Novato, California (Marin County), north of San Francisco. This letter to a poet friend was placed in the workshop of the writer for me: I had an idea that not everyone knows about car parades. This took place in Novato, California (about 45,000), and fix the elderly and even cars. They are great! So many people line the street for this popular event, is like a town fair. Novato Marin County, north of San Francisco for about 30 miles. I think we have the annual parade. This year I went to the parade, and I was impressed with him and remember that there is nothing like the American car culture. ” Thus the poem. Notes on Photo: The Rev. Richard Helmer, rector of the Church of Our Saviour, Mill Valley, California, USA took this picture and gave permission to use on my blog. The blog is essentially spiritual and religious poetry, and although the poem posted today is about chrome and steel parade, I thought of Father Richard snapshot is a good choice because it shows the flowers and chromium. Readers of this blog have noticed that most of the photographs that accompany the poetry shows a flower or flowers. So, here is another picture of a flower, the unknown location of the snapshot.
